Slay Doubt Challenge - Chapter 9 Reflections

Slay Doubt by Detola Amure

Do as Instructed

"One thing that can cause us to doubt is not being sure of what to do or being confused about the daily action steps you should be taking to fulfill your unique assignment and live out God's calling over your life.

You are a spirit; you have a soul that lives in your body. The correct order is for instruction to flow from your spirit to your soul and then to your body. They should always be in alignment."

Besides all the other things highlighted in the chapter, one thing stood out for me.
It is that in fulfilling the assignment God has given me; I need to be careful to make sure I'm following God's pattern and specific instructions, not the well-meaning guidance of well-wishers because it could have consequences I'm not prepared to shoulder or even bare.

Some other reflections from this chapter include the following.
  1. Whatever I'm doing must align with what God has told me, not what someone else thinks I should be doing.
  2. In answering the questions in the book, I realised that I haven't fully embraced my unique project. I've spent years dumbing myself down, waiting for the affirmation and validation of those I look up to and those around me, which has led me to feel paralyzed, unable to move forward.
  3. I can see that I now need to shut down the noise and seek God for mercy and clarification of my purpose and calling.

Happy New Month

Hello,  How are you doing? Can you believe it, we're in the second half of the year, just like that and what an eventful year it's been. It feels like only yesterday when we were happily chanting happy new year and looking forward with expectation.  Forget about what’s happened; don’t keep going over old history. Be alert, be present. I’m about to do something brand-new. It’s bursting out! Don’t you see it? Isaiah 43:18  What a challenging year it's been. From the natural disasters reported at the start of the year, to the current global pandemic, to the current fight for justice for the lives lost at the hands of those in authority.  Faced with these uncertainties, and what we now term the new normal, many don't know how they'll make it through, but I'd like to encourage you to  keep pressing forward despite all the challenges. With less than six months to go, there's no telling what you and I can accomplish in between that time. Don't give up hope, kee...
